Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 28 January 2009
195 Deputy Olivia Mitchell asked the Minister for Transport if he will report on the Dublin Bus services which are expected to be reduced or abolished following the announcement of cutbacks in that agency; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [2603/09]
Amharc ar fhreagraIt is a matter for Dublin Bus, within the resources available to it from fare revenue and Exchequer subvention, to optimise its services in the most efficient and effective manner, while maintaining as high a level of service as possible to the travelling public. Day to day decisions in this regard are matters for the company. I published yesterday the report by Deloittes on a Cost and Efficiency Review of Bus Éireann and Dublin Bus and I have asked the Chairman of both companies to bring forward at an early date a programme to implement the recommendations in the report.
